KiwiBob Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I had my rear brake hose burst on my r1100rs last week so I've changed the lot for braided lines today. Just got to fit all the fairing back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of " Discovered " that on paper , so to speak , by just looking at a map and trying to work out a scenic route to Scotland . It looks like a sort of enclave where no major roads have ever been built . I'd be interested in any more first hand information if you can provide it . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending where you are approaching the trough from, and where you want to head too, a good road starts just off the A59 at Ribchester Rd and through Ribchester then on to Longridge, pick up Longridge Rd and head for Dunsop Bridge (there is a cafe) or head a little further along that route to sykes and you will come across a brew wagon in a gravel lay-by just by the brook. Continue to follow signs for Quernmore and you will find Jubilee Tower, great views over Lancaster and Morecombe bay and the lakes. From there you could then head for Caton - Kirby Lonsdale (brew stop) then take your pick which way you want to head north. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea which way we are going as it's a group ride out so a case of follow my leader, one thing i will be doing though is videoing the ride, might take some time to edit it and get uploaded though but will do it asap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 A few years back when we did Lands End to John O Groats we went through the Forest of Bowl and. It got the prize for the most scenic part of the entire journey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stearman65 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 My Doohan I Tango E Scooter came with a Red Bull sticker on the wind deflector, so I scraped it off. It was stuck like S**t to a blanket. Stearman65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
